Stir flour and salt together in a medium bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry tool until pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle water on mixture one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork each time, until all is moistened (may not use all 5 tablespoons).

Form dough into a ball. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface until about 1/4“ thick and slightly larger than the diameter of the quiche cooking dish (10-12”).

Beat eggs in a bowl then add half & half, flour, salt, and nutmeg, whisk until blended. Pour over bacon and cheese in pie shell. Trim with reserved bacon.

Bake for 35-45 minutes at 325° until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let stand 10 minutes to allow settling before serving

* I'm pretty sure this recipe is the reason Dustin asked me to marry him.
This recipe is easy and makes you look like a 4 star chef. If he knew then
what he knows now, he would have realized that was the only thing I could
really cook!
